Skull piece thought to be Hitler's is actually from woman
Collection of Hitler artificats preserved by Soviets after 1945 suicide re-examined for new documentary.
By The Associated Press Tags: Hitler Israel newsDNA taken from a skull thought to be Nazi chancellor Adolf Hitler's shows the bone fragment came from a woman, a University of Connecticut scientist said on Tuesday.
Professor Linda Strausbaugh did say, however, that some of the blood taken from the couch where Hitler reportedly shot himself did come from a man.
The section of a cranium is part of a collection of Hitler artifacts preserved by Soviet intelligence in the months after Hitler and Eva Braun reportedly committed suicide in a Berlin bunker in 1945.
Strausbaugh and Connecticut archaeologist Nick Bellantoni were asked to examine the samples for a History Channel documentary.
Two other researchers were able to extract DNA to make the findings, Strausbaugh said. Nothing they found challenges the conclusion that Hitler died in the bunker, she added.

.. of couse a real teacher would know that..
It won't take that long to determine if Ahmadienjad's skull is similar in 80 % to that of an ape or less than 80 %! What is clear for all to see,is what his own colleagues say about him; (behind his back) that he looks like a monkey & they make fun of him. But having said that,he is not an ignorant person,only hatred eats his soul. Now again does he have one ?
No bollocks at all! 'Splains a lot methinks. Well, maybe. OK, maybe not.
on the National Geographic Channel's program . So much for the experts (at least the German ones)
Hitler was a freak. Therefore, the female skull. Similar to Adolf Ahmadinejad of Iran and the terrorist freaks of the Arab countries. They are all from the same Amalek family.
